MEMBERS of a Liverpool gang who came to Coventry on a revenge mission which ended with a man being gunned down on his own doorstep, have been jailed for a total of more than 88 years.

The gang were looking for brothers Ajmal and Amir Rashid and their cousin Ansar Mahmood. The three had allegedly gone back on a promise to hand over three kilos of skunk cannabis.

But the the man who got shot was the brothers’ father, Mohammed Rashid.

He was blasted in the stomach three times at point blank range at his home in Lythalls Lane, Holbrooks, in October 2006. Amazingly, he survived.

He was watching television when the gang ran in to his garden.

After confronting them, one pulled out a gun and started firing. Somehow, Mr Rashid managed to drag his attacker to the front door and pull off his balaclava before the gang fled in a car.

Mr Rashid was found slumped in the street by a neighbour, who immediately dialled 999. Despite a bullet going through his liver and stomach he survived, spending two months in hospital.

The gang - Eusop Milne, Lee Almond and his brother Peter, Paul Simons, Ian Dutton and Razwan Mirza - were found guilty of conspiring to hold up the brothers and their cousin.

The men were convicted of conspiring to rob - a charge they had all denied - after a trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

Ringleader Milne was found guilty last year of attempting to murder Mr Rashid, but was not sentenced until yesterday along with the rest of his gang.

Two of the men, Milne and Simons, were also convicted of murdering Liverpool father-of-three Daniel Duffy. They were found guilty after the .38 revolver used to kill Mr Duffy was matched with the weapon used to shoot Mr Rashid.
